I am completely partial to people who like my dogs. If you walk in my house and make a fuss over my pets , pet them and tell me how cute they are, I like you better.
When people come over and look a little disgusted and freaked out, I make a mental note of it.
My children's friends who like dogs are invited over far more often than their dog hating cohorts.
When a child takes one look at my dogs and starts screaming and running away, it seriously bums me out.
I know it's wrong, but it's just the way it is.
